Victoon, I am trying out a conversion to see how it looks/feels when it's finished. I may work on it tomorrow, or I may go nuts with the belt sander and work on 13 other handles I don't see why a conversion wouldn't work; the tang seems stiff enough at the size that it is; it's around 3" long for the tang to machi. The tangs are fully hardened, where on many Japanese Wa tangs, they are a softer steel and flex more.
